Pickling cucumbers are typically the ones used to make delicious pickles. They tend to be smaller and have a bumpy rind. Pickling cucumbers are typically ready for harvest in Ontario in late June to late August.
Pickling cucumbers can be enjoyed as a bite-sized snack or can be made into pickles by slicing, slivering, or halving them and submerging or fermenting them in a vinegar-based salt or sugar brine.
Cucumbers belong to the gourd family. The many cucumber varieties tend to fall into two main groups: slicing and pickling. Pickling cucumbers tend to be shorter and thicker with bumpy skins. Slicing cucumbers tend to be used for salads and every-day eating.
